Description

For Sale by Public Online Auction - Closing Date: Friday 16th May 2025 at 12 Noon

 

Three acres of pasture land divided neatly into five enclosures together with a stone building and a metal shelter. Fantastic position on the edge of the Clay Trails offering miles of off-road riding and walking opportunities on the doorstep. Enjoying an elevated situation overlooking the wooded valley.

The Land
The land comprises five fairly equally sized enclosures, most of which are sloping, totaling 3.00 acres or thereabouts. The enclosures are in grass and most have beautiful stone walled boundaries, with the remainder having live growth hedges.

The land is set alongside but elevated from the B3274 Stenalees to St Austell road and immediately west of a public footpath from which the land is accessed via three gateways. In the immediate vicinity and directly adjoining the adjacent footpath are the Clay Trails, offering miles of off-road walking, riding and cycling opportunities right on the doorstep.

Set at the centre of the land is a stone building and a metal store/shelter, both in need of some repair but nonetheless offering potential for reinstatement or for other uses (subject to planning consent).

Being elevated the land enjoys far reaching views over the wooded surroundings and including the Sky Spur and the water-filled clay pits.

Particulars & Plan

Location
The land is ideally positioned for those looking for grazing land for horses, owing to its proximity to the multi-use Clay Trails, but is equally suited to those looking for amenity land. Carthew is a small village on the outskirts of St Austell town which is home to the Wheal Martyn Clay Works museum. St Austell town centre is within just 2 miles and is a large and bustling market town with a mainline railway link to London (Paddington). The town provides a wide range of every day amenities and facilities including primary and secondary schooling, a high street with national retailers and independent stores, numerous eateries, supermarkets and St Austell is of course home to the famous Eden Project.

Viewing & Directions
Viewers may access the land for viewing purposes with sale particulars in hand, during daylight hours adhering to the Countryside Code. Please notify the agents Lodge & Thomas of your intended visit. Tel: Email:

Directions
Proceeding out of St Austell in a northerly direction along the B3274, continue through Trethowel and Ruddlemoor. After passing the Wheal Martyn Clay Works museum on the left hand side, follow the road as it bears right and then the footpath access to the land can be found on the right hand side, almost immediately opposite the bridge on the left. Continue up the footpath and the first entrance gate into the land will be located on the right hand side after a very short distance. We advise interested parties to proceed to the land on foot for viewing purposes.
